Native American Tribes

The game references several different Native American Tribes, and they play a big part to the plot of the game. Connor is Native American in origin and after his childhood tragedy he was raised by the Mohawk tribe. The Native Americans for a large part of the war chose to stay out of the conflict, not wanting to be a part of a fight that did not concern them. When their land was threatened several different tribes chose to fight, leading to the French and Indian war. In the game, the Mohawk tribe choose to fight alongside Charles Lee to save their land, but was stopped by Connor knowing that their alliance would only lead to the destruction of his people.

In the end the Mohawk tribe abandoned their village in an act of self preservation leaving Connor feeling both devastated and defeated. This is largely what happened to many Native American tribes around this time period where they were forced off their land during a time when America was expanding. Spoiler - Click to see/hide
